ADVENTIST STICKING POINTS
crazy or something. You wait a few minutes to make sure
the car is not having mechanical problems or there is some
other reason for this that you can’t see. Finally you ask,
“Do you mind telling me why you are driving 25 mph in a
65 mph zone?” Calmly yet firmly, your driver replies, “The
sign in town said 25 miles per hour. I believe laws do not
change. It would be fickle for my government to change
like that. So I do not believe these other signs. I am sticking
with the 25 mph law.”
Sound ridiculous? Yes it does, but many sabbatarians
do just that. They are quick to point out that God doesn’t
change. Therefore, if Sabbath was once required of God’s
people, then it must still be a permanent requirement. They
disregard the other sign posts that clearly state otherwise.
True, God’s moral principles do not change. But the
application of such principles often does. Just as the local
city government follows the principle of safety in making
speed limit laws, the application will be different in urban
versus rural settings. The same is true with God’s
government. To insist on the old when the new has been
clearly revealed, is to miss so much of the joy God has
planned for His people.
